UCLAN Drawing & Image making Degree show 2011

Recently Visited the UCLAN Degree Exhibitions. The D&IM Show caught my eye for it's Illustratyness(?). Where the 2D image is still King. Though there was a wide variety of mark-making techniques used, Charcoal,Ink,photography and sewing onto fabric to name a few. All bar one(see bottom) resulted in 2D finished pieces. Not that I dont like a bit of installation work myself, just it's nice to see how the other half do it within the self initiated brief structure of Fine Art.

 This piece was based on the concept of escapism. During the exhibition it contained soil and plants,like a minature jungle in a tent, In my opinion it could have possiblybenefitted from being much larger as it was only about 1 metre tall, something that the viewer could actually enter and explore would have had more impact I think.
